NORRISTOWN — A Philadelphia man showed no emotion as a judge convicted him of charges he raped a 15-year-old girl who was unconscious from drinking alcohol during a party inside a vacant Upper Moreland apartment.

Markley Charles, 25, of the 1100 block of East Dorset Street, was convicted in Montgomery County Court on Tuesday of charges of rape, statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault and corruption of a minor in connection with the February 2012 incident at a vacant residence at the Blair Mill Village East apartments located in the 2800 block of Blair Mill Road.

Judge Gary S. Silow rendered the verdict after weighing evidence, stipulated to by Charles and prosecutors, during a non-jury trial. Charles sought the non-jury trial shortly before the judge was to begin selecting a jury for his trial on Tuesday.

The verdict came exactly one year to the date that Charles committed the crime.

With the verdict, the judge determined Charles sexually assaulted someone who was under age 16 and who was unconscious at the time.

“The conduct the defendant engaged in was horrific. He identified an underage girl, knowing that she couldn’t talk and she couldn’t walk and that she was scared and paranoid. He took advantage of her youth, her level of intoxication and the fact that she was passed out for his own sexual gain,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Abidiwan-Lupo.

Abidwan-Lupo vowed to seek a lengthy state prison sentence against Charles, who was represented at trial by defense lawyer Harold Diamond.

Charles, who remains in the county jail without bail pending sentencing, faces a possible maximum sentence of 42 to 84 years in prison on the charges.

The judge also ordered that Charles be evaluated by the Pennsylvania Sexual Offender Assessment Board, which will determine if he meets criteria under the state’s Megan’s Law to be declared a sexually violent predator. Those deemed to be predators face more stringent restrictions under Megan’s Law, including a lifetime requirement to report their addresses to state police and community notification about their living arrangements once they are paroled.

An investigation began about 1:15 a.m. Feb. 26 when the girl’s mother reported that her 15-year-old daughter was missing. Police eventually found the girl in a vacant apartment at the apartment complex.

“(The victim) was unconscious, extremely intoxicated, had her pants and underwear on inside-out and had no recollection of where she had been for the last several hours,” Upper Moreland Police Officer James Costello alleged in the arrest affidavit.

The victim told police her only memory was going to a party at the apartment complex where she consumed at least four cups of an alcoholic beverage, according to court papers.

The girl told police she also recalled being at a different apartment later with a man she didn’t know and that the man told her “he needed to leave because he did not want to get in trouble as a result of being older than her,” according to the arrest affidavit.

During the investigation, witnesses told police that others at the original party carried the girl to another vacant apartment where another party was being held and placed her in an unfurnished bedroom on the floor and covered her with a sweater, court documents indicate. Witnesses said they later returned to the bedroom and saw the girl naked from the waist down.

One witness told police he saw Charles, with his pants down, lying on the floor next to the girl, who was still unconscious, not moving, according to the arrest affidavit.

When police interviewed Charles he admitted that he and others purchased alcohol and furnished it to adults and minors at the party. Charles also told police that others at the party told him the girl was 15. Charles ultimately confessed to entering the bedroom where the girl was alone and to having sexual contact with her, according to the arrest affidavit.

Several others were charged with trespassing-related charges and providing alcohol to minors in connection with the party.
